Lucio Fontana, Spatial Concept 'Waiting', 1960 (Spatialism)

Lucio Fontana, Spatial Concept 'Waiting', 1960, 930 x 730mm



Fontana is most reknowned for his slashed canvases. A seemingly minimal piece of work, just a slit, is able to convey gesture, force, spontaneity and movement. The work also immediately heightens our sensitivity towards space with the slash beckoning us to enter into the darken portal within the canvas.
